Thank You, Readers, for the New Monitors

I'm thanking you wonderful people because the money to pay for it came mostly from those of you who are signing up with Dreamhost for Subversion hosting and using my discount code. Over each of the last 6 months or so, a few of you have signed up and I've slowly built up commissions from their affiliate program.

I decided when I signed up for that program (as well as several of the other advertising programs I'm running here) that the money would be used for my hardware upgrades. There hasn't been enough in any one month to buy much of interest, leaving me to not really ever even check in on it all that much. Then, I discovered enough sitting there to buy the dual 22"-ish (they're 0.4" shy, but considerably cheaper than the real 22" from Samsung) monitors that I like and want.

Once those show up, that workstation will be set up pretty much like how I want it and I can just do tweaks like more RAM as I feel the pain and just enjoy the huge desktop real estate this will provide. While I can see a 4 monitor setup (or even 3) as something I really want, I don't think I've got enough desk space at the moment to make that happen.

Oh, and for those asking for pics of the new setup, I might get around to it, but am first working to clean up the mess that is obscuring pretty much everything in my office first. If I took pics of what it looks like right now, I'd die from embarrassment. However, there's no way I'll get the monitors in there if I don't clean it up, so hopefully that will prompt a cleanup and I can take a picture of the whole works.

So, to those of you who set up Dreamhost accounts and Subversion repositories because of my articles, thanks for the new monitors!
